According to Lyles' recruiting profile on ESPN.com (subscription required), he had committed to the hometown Indiana Hoosiers in September 2010, but decommitted last August.

At 6'9" and 235 pounds, Lyles already has a solid frame and plenty of room to fill it out. A slight lack of physicality is one of the only criticisms that can be placed on Lyles at this point, but he has time to accrue strength at the collegiate level.

Not only is Lyles a threat to post up on the lower block with an array of moves to finish close to the rim, but he also has a stellar face-up game, per Paul Biancardi's scouting report on ESPN.com (subscription required).

Lyles' range extends up to 17 feet and even to the three-point arc, which is a testament to his excellent touch and finesse for his size. Possessing that type of offensive versatility at such an early stage in his career should allow Lyles' progress to accelerate in college.

On the defensive end, the top-flight prospect holds his ground and is capable of blocking shots.

In perhaps the pinnacle of praise, the previously linked ESPN.com profile notes that Lyles is reminiscent of a young Tim Duncan with regard to his offensive arsenal.

If that is any indication of Lyles' potential, the sky seems to be the limit for him moving forward. He could very well be a one-and-done after his freshman season.
